I believe prevention is still the best cure & eating cancer-fighting foods is better than being under heavy medications & being subjected to numerous lab tests.

Is this not proof for what the Raw Food community is saying for over a decade? For example the Gerson Therapy http://gerson.org/gerpress/. I am not affiliated in any way, just interested, but Dr Gerson wrote medical articles about healing through eating in the early twenties, nevertheless he has not been taken seriously by the medical world. I think this proven influence of healthy food on cancers cell or blood vessels, is a good step forward. We should indeed take responsibility for our own body and eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
